From: Octavian Purdila <tavi.purdila@gmail.com>

This patch adds the skeleton for the host library, tests and
application examples.

The host library is implementing the host operations needed by LKL and
is split into host dependent (depends on a specific host, e.g. POSIX
hosts) and host independent parts (will work on all supported hosts).
